Blake, the third member of Team RWBY, wields the Gambol Shroud, a shinobigatana with a sharpened sheath that has a pistol in the hilt, which is also attached to a long ribbon. She often uses this weapon in the style of kusarigama when she bends the blade. In battle, her semblance, Shadow, allows her to create a clone of herself, an empty copy that distracts or takes hits of enemies for her.

Blake has a quiet nature and a love for books. She is a Faunus, a persecuted humanoid race with animal-like features, and was a member of the White Fang, a social rights advocacy group turned extremist paramilitary organization. Blake leaves in disgust of the violence and joined Beacon Academy to become a huntress.

She has kept her Faunus identity a secret by concealing her cat ears under a black bow. Blake has revealed that the reason why she has kept her Faunus identity a secret, is because she feels that she is not ready for the attention it would give her if the secret got out and does not want the discrimination other Faunus receive from humanity.
